Melba Sauce
NOTE: Melba
sauce is a fancy name for raspberry sauce. It's wonderful over
vanilla ice cream with sliced fruit, especially peaches. If you
like, stir in one-half cup lightly crushed fresh raspberries just
before serving. Without the fresh berries, this recipe yields about
one cup.
1 12-ounce package frozen raspberries, thawed
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place berries and sugar in small saucepan. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat until sugar dissolves and berries soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice. Transfer sauce to fine-mesh strainer set over small bowl. Press on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard seeds. Serve at room temperature. Sauce may be refrigerated in airtight container for several days.
